Clover to host 'Princess and the Pea'

“The Commedia Princess and the Pea” will be presented by the Tarradiddle Players at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 27 at the Clover School District Auditorium.Tickets are $5 for adults and children 12 and under are free.In this funny, fast-paced show, the Tarradiddle Players put a slapstick spin on Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale. The lonely prince wants to find someone to marry, but potential princesses must first, get past his mother, the Queen, and her long list of tests.Will any of them be royal enough to turn a cartwheel, sing “Happy Birthday” while hopping up and down on one leg, and feel a teeny, tiny pea under a big stack of mattresses?With its roots in the humorous, physical acting style of Italian Commedia dell’arte, this production is pure fun.Call the auditorium at 803-222-8018 for tickets and information.
